<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<p>The routines described here provide a high-level
interface through which <small>TIFF</small> images may be
read into memory. Images may be strip- or tile-based and
have a variety of different characteristics: bits/sample,
samples/pixel, photometric, etc. Decoding state is
encapsulated in a <i>TIFFRGBAImage</i> structure making it
possible to capture state for multiple images and quickly
switch between them. The target raster format can be
customized to a particular application&rsquo;s needs by
installing custom routines that manipulate image data
according to application requirements.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>The default usage for these routines is: check if an
image can be processed using <i>TIFFRGBAImageOK</i>,
construct a decoder state block using
<i>TIFFRGBAImageBegin</i>, read and decode an image into a
target raster using <i>TIFFRGBAImageGet</i>, and then
release resources using <i>TIFFRGBAImageEnd</i>.
<i>TIFFRGBAImageGet</i> can be called multiple times to
decode an image using different state parameters. If
multiple images are to be displayed and there is not enough
space for each of the decoded rasters, multiple state blocks
can be managed and then calls can be made to
<i>TIFFRGBAImageGet</i> as needed to display an image.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>The generated raster is assumed to be an array of
<i>width</i> times <i>height</i> 32-bit entries, where
<i>width</i> must be less than or equal to the width of the
image (<i>height</i> may be any non-zero size). If the
raster dimensions are smaller than the image, the image data
is cropped to the raster bounds. If the raster height is
greater than that of the image, then the image data are
placed in the lower part of the raster. (Note that the
raster is assume to be organized such that the pixel at
location (<i>x</i>,<i>y</i>) is
<i>raster</i>[<i>y</i>*<i>width</i>+<i>x</i>]; with the
raster origin in the <b>lower-left</b> hand corner.)</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>Raster pixels are 8-bit packed red, green, blue, alpha
samples. The macros <i>TIFFGetR</i>, <i>TIFFGetG</i>,
<i>TIFFGetB</i>, and <i>TIFFGetA</i> should be used to
access individual samples. Images without Associated Alpha
matting information have a constant Alpha of 1.0 (255).</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p><i>TIFFRGBAImageGet</i> converts non-8-bit images by
scaling sample values. Palette, grayscale, bilevel,
<small>CMYK</small> , and YCbCr images are converted to
<small>RGB</small> transparently. Raster pixels are returned
uncorrected by any colorimetry information present in the
directory.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>The parameter <i>stopOnError</i> specifies how to act if
an error is encountered while reading the image. If
<i>stopOnError</i> is non-zero, then an error will terminate
the operation; otherwise <i>TIFFRGBAImageGet</i> will
continue processing data until all the possible data in the
image have been requested.</p>

<h2>ALTERNATE RASTER FORMATS</h2>

<p>To use the core support for reading and processing
<small>TIFF</small> images, but write the resulting raster
data in a different format one need only override the
&lsquo;&lsquo;<i>put methods</i>&rsquo;&rsquo; used to store
raster data. These methods are are defined in the
<i>TIFFRGBAImage</i> structure and initially setup by
<i>TIFFRGBAImageBegin</i> to point to routines that pack
raster data in the default <small>ABGR</small> pixel format.
Two different routines are used according to the physical
organization of the image data in the file:
<i>PlanarConfiguration</i>=1 (packed samples), and
<i>PlanarConfiguration</i>=2 (separated samples). Note that
this mechanism can be used to transform the data before
storing it in the raster. For example one can convert data
to colormap indices for display on a colormap display.</p>

<h2>SIMULTANEOUS RASTER STORE AND DISPLAY</h2>

<p>It is simple to display an image as it is being read into
memory by overriding the put methods as described above for
supporting alternate raster formats. Simply keep a reference
to the default put methods setup by
<i>TIFFRGBAImageBegin</i> and then invoke them before or
after each display operation. For example, the
<i>tiffgt</i>(1) utility uses the following put method to
update the display as the raster is being filled:</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<pre>static void
putContigAndDraw(TIFFRGBAImage* img, uint32* raster,
    uint32 x, uint32 y, uint32 w, uint32 h,
    int32 fromskew, int32 toskew,
    unsigned char* cp)
{
    (*putContig)(img, raster, x, y, w, h, fromskew, toskew, cp);
    if (x+w == width) {
     w = width;
     if (img-&gt;orientation == ORIENTATION_TOPLEFT)
         lrectwrite(0, y-(h-1), w-1, y, raster-x-(h-1)*w);
     else
         lrectwrite(0, y, w-1, y+h-1, raster);
    }
}
</pre>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>(the original routine provided by the library is saved in
the variable <i>putContig</i>.)</p>

<p>The <i>TIFFRGBAImage</i> routines support the most

possible to extend this support by overriding the

<i>TIFFRGBAImageGet</i> to read <small>TIFF</small> image
data. Details of doing this are a bit involved, it is best
to make a copy of an existing get method and modify it to
suit the needs of an application.</p>
